Spitballs

Yesterday, the exchange students handled some documents for the upcoming Moscow camp. At school 41, not much happened, so there is little to say about that except that we're planned to leave town January 3rd and leave Moscow on the 9th. After the meeting, we sat at the cozier McDonalds near school 41. Despite being a quiet crowd, we had spitballs aimed at us from two tables down. I'm not sure why none of us talked to management about the issue or even talked to the offender, but all was well. We had good laughs about this act. We joked that the other people would run out of napkins for spitballs, so they'd be throwing larger objects like shoes and Iphones next. But really, if they threw a shoe, I'd just pick it up and never return it. They'd be at a greater lost going home with a missing shoe, while I'd have two on my feet and one extra.

It's been wet and slippery on the roads. This used to be a problem with ice, but not recently. For whatever peculiar reason, it rained two days here. It's extremely rare for rain to arrive during Winter, and being foreign to the whole concept of cold winters and snow...I wonder if this will mean January and February will be colder months to make up for December. I don't know how Mother Nature works, and I'm clueless how to read the signs through weather. 

On the sidenote, most students have to pass an end-of the year Russian test along with two other subjects (not including English). I think it would be in my best interest to take French and Geography, because the vocabulary would be rather simple. During February, the three exchange students from school will give a presentation about our stay in Russia, so those are a few things we have lined up in the later months. And it's been forever since I talked to relatives in California......I don't know why.
